【1v1, Doted On, Fiery! Awesome! Sweet!】
Second Master Jin indulges in worldly pleasures, his life motto being simply to have fun. When a certain cat lunges at him, he lightly dodges, "...
The cat looked at Jiang Caishen.
Jiang Caishen laughed loudly, "As expected of the Mu family's lad, the younger generation is truly formidable... Since you've come knocking on my door, I won't beat around the bush with you. I do indeed have the Luban Box."
As he spoke, Jiang Caishen told the woman beside him to go and get it.
A moment later, the woman placed the box on the table.
It's the same size as the previous two boxes the cat saw, but the mechanisms inside are definitely different.
Jiang Caishen asked, "Mu Jin, is this what you're asking about?"
Mu Jin picked up the box, turned it around and looked at it, then nodded, "That's right."
Jiang Caishen said meaningfully, "A single Luban box isn't worth much, but a complete set is very meaningful. This one alone is dispensable to me, so giving it to you is fine, but..."
Mu Jin said, "Please speak freely."
Jiang Caishen then continued, "However, I have a favor to ask! If you agree to this, I will give you this Luban Box."
This time, Mu Jin considered it a little. He had always acted as if he had no desires, but that didn't mean he was easy to talk to. Besides, this Lu Ban Box might not be something that would make him agree to everything.
Tell me about it.
Jiang Caishen said, "My son Shaoze recently went to Beijing, which is your territory. Shaoze is young and impetuous, and he may offend some people. I hope that you guys can help him out a little."
Mu Jin remained silent.
Gu Zeyi chuckled and said, "Jiang Caishen, your request is indeed a bit difficult. As far as I know, your son, Jiang Shaoze, is not on the same path as you, is he?"
Jiang Caishen also said with a headache, "That's right, that's why I'm worried he'll cause trouble... It's a misfortune for the family, so I won't say more."
Mu Jin looked at Jiang Caishen and said, "I can only save his life, nothing else matters."
Jiang Caishen hesitated for a moment, then his smiling face, which resembled that of Maitreya Buddha, turned serious. He said earnestly, "With your words, I am relieved. The rest is up to his own fate... This box is yours."
The cat listened, but something about what they were saying seemed off.
She looked at a photo frame on the tea table. The photo showed a gentle and shy boy wearing a white sports uniform, who looked to be about thirteen or fourteen years old.
Nowadays, very few people put photos in front of them, she couldn't help but ask:
Is this your son?
Jiang Caishen touched the photo and said with a smile, "Yes, this photo is from more than ten years ago."
The cat then asked, "Is your son's name Jiang Shaoze?"
Jiang Caishen nodded.
The cat tilted its head, seemingly lost in thought. Jiang Shaoze? Could it be such a coincidence? The boss that the little tiger mentioned... isn't his name also Jiang Shaoze?
The deal is done.
The conversation became much lighter after that, but a short while later, Jiang Caishen was called away by a phone call.
The cat simply picked up the photo frame, examined it carefully, and then asked, "Is there anything special about this Jiang Shaoze?"
Gu Ze said, "Yes, this Jiang Shaoze is particularly bad."
"Bad?" The cat's gaze swept across their faces. "Badr than all of you?"
“Hey, we’re all decent people, what’s wrong with us?” Gu Zeyi said. “Jiang Shaoze is really bad. He didn’t inherit his father’s business. He went astray in Country A with his uncle and started running some shady businesses. He just returned to China this year and went straight to Beijing without going back to Fengshi. With what he’s done, his life is probably in danger at any time.”
The cat nodded knowingly; no wonder Mu Jin said that earlier…
In that case, saving Jiang Shaoze's life is already a big deal!
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Mu Jin ended the conversation and asked, "Did you open the box from last time?"
Cat was taken aback. Mu Jin looked at her with a lazy and casual gaze, but the question was clearly meant for her. Cat didn't blink and said, "It's not open."
But Mu Jin still gave her the box in her hand, saying, "This is for you too."
The cat pushed it back, saying, "This is yours. This is what you came here for today."
Ye Mingshi chuckled and leaned closer, saying, "Kitty, Jiang Caishen just said that individual boxes are useless; you need to collect the whole set to summon the dragon. You're the one who deserves the most credit tonight, so here you go."
The cat said, "I didn't have the first box either."
Ye Mingshi nodded immediately, "That's easy! I'll have Jin Er go back and give it to you."
The cat had just said no, but now she accepted it. She said very seriously, "Ah Jin, I'll keep it for you."
-------------------------------------
Cat originally told Lanfeng she would skip work for one day, but ended up skipping work for two days. On the second day, she spent a long time visiting Jiang Caishen's estate, which was like a botanical garden and worth seeing. Moreover, Cat also asked for quite a few seeds.
These plants were all planted by relevant experts, and the survival rate is very low. Even if you have seeds, it is not guaranteed that they will survive.
Therefore, Jiang Caishen assumed that the cat was going to play and didn't pay any attention.
Little did she know that if the cat had scattered these seeds in her living space, they would have grown very well with ease.
In the afternoon, they took a boat back to Beijing.
When the cat returned to Jiu's house, it was already past nine o'clock at night.
The TV was playing loudly in the living room; Jiu Nanxun was watching a drama. There were a bunch of open snack bags on the table, and she was currently munching on an apple.
Upon seeing the cat return, Jiu Nanxun immediately jumped up, "Sister, you didn't come home last night! Who were you with?"
Cat ignored her question and said, "Do you have a photo of Jiang Shaoze? Let me see."
Jiu Nanxun suddenly looked a little troubled. "Sister, why are you looking at him?"
The cat asked again, "Do you have any?"
Seeing that the cat was serious, Jiu Nanxun ruffled her pigtails and said, "No, but I can find it for you..."
As she spoke, Kunan Xun took out her phone and searched, and soon a lot of photos appeared.
Jiang Shaoze doesn't make much news in the country, but he's quite popular in Country A.
After looking at some photos, I noticed that Jiang Shaoze's style is quite peculiar... It's easy to spot him. He seems to have a particular fondness for white, often wearing a white suit. Among a group of menacing men in black, he looks like a well-behaved child who has wandered onto the wrong set.
This appearance... is indeed quite similar to the boy on Jiang Caishen's table.
Jiu Nanxun suddenly leaned on her shoulder and said indignantly, "Sister, don't be deceived by his appearance. Don't be fooled by his gentle and weak appearance. In fact, he is one of the ten leaders of the J Party in Country A. He is wicked and does all sorts of evil deeds."
The cat asked, "Do you know him?"
